comfort-zone

I learned a little something about myself this month. I was hired to create workout program with a partner and one of the requirements of being a part of this collaboration was that I had to run 3 miles under 25 minutes and had only 2 weeks to train for it.  It may not sound like that big of a goal, but I haven’t gone running in about 10 years so I was nervous.  All of these crazy thoughts went through my head like: I can’t do it, I will hurt myself, and it’s going to be too hard.   I was really nervous about even going for my first run.  I was noticing how absurd — but real– the feeling of fear was.  I really wanted to find any reason at all not to do it. I even started thinking, “I don’t want this job anyway.”
